"Just brag, you brag yourself into the top scorer, and you brag yourself into the top scorer. Then, what do I do to hold the imperial examination and just give your master and apprentice the top scorer and the second scorer."

"It's not bad," Li Mu laughed and said, "It's easier."

"What's so easy to save trouble?" Li Shimin curled his smile, raised his hand and knocked Li Mu, and said, "Don't give me a smile. I tell you, two top scorers, you must give me at least one, otherwise I can't spare you. I can't afford to give you the Jinshi exam in the afternoon. No matter what, you can't hand over the paper in advance. Show me carefully and check it carefully, and don't let my expectations down."

Li Mu also became honest and said, "I obey the order."

"I'm leaving, remember, take a good exam."

Eunuch Gao also said, "Journal of Zhulu Jin List"

Li Mu nodded with a smile, watched the two of them leave, and then continued to walk towards Sun's carriage.

"Mother" Li Mu got into the carriage, squeezed Li Zhien aside, and sat next to Sun. Sun glared at him with a angrily and said, "How old is, you are still like a child. Zhien is your wife, and Mom is still counting on her to have children. You are fine, I don't know how to feel sorry for your wife, I can't bully her just because she is young."

"Mom, how can this be called bullying? Is it just a matter of sitting next to you? Mom, I just took the imperial examination. I have to mobilize so many people and let you come here. When the child finishes the exam, he will naturally pay his respects to his mother."

"Aren't you worried about you?" Sun took Li Mu's hand and sighed quite emotionally. "I heard before that the county magistrate in our hometown, Mayi, is a magistrate who has entered the officialdom. You don't know how envious I am. But our family is poor and I can't afford to hire a teacher, and I can't teach you how to read. I didn't expect that my son is smart and learned to write by himself. Now he has participated in the imperial examination. My son, if he passes the imperial examination, he will be more knowledgeable than our county magistrate."

Li Mu smiled bitterly, and Li Zhien explained to him, "Mom, what's the county magistrate now? The little eighth-rank county magistrate cannot rely on his husband. His husband is the chief minister of the third-rank office. You are his mother and your status will be even higher. If you call that county magistrate, you will be scared to death and he will not dare to respond."

"Yes," Sun smiled and said, "Actually, my mother doesn't understand this truth, she is just used to it. You have never seen Zhien. That county magistrate is so majestic."

"Mom, isn't my son powerful now?" Li Muchin showed off, "Who dares to provoke your son in Chang'an City now?"

"I'm also saying that I asked Your Majesty to kick me just now." Sun looked at Li Mu's butt and reached out to rub me. Li Mu hurriedly hid back; "Mom, it doesn't hurt, it's okay. What a great honor to get Your Majesty to kick me. Most people don't have this treatment yet."

"I'm so shy, I haven't seen your mother before."

"Oh, my son has grown up." It would be fine if he didn't know that Sun was not his biological mother. After knowing, Li Mu felt very discord with similar physical contact. But he deliberately didn't want to show it, for fear that Sun would think too much.

"Mom has made wontons for you in the morning." Sun turned sideways, took out a food box, opened it, and found that it was held in his arms along the way, and the wonton soup was not sprinkled out. "It's too late, so Mom has packed you for eating alone. You can eat it. When you go in and take the exam later, we will find a place to eat."

"Mom, I'm not that rush." ​​Li Mu smiled and said, "Let's find a restaurant, you order food, I'll eat wontons made by my mother, otherwise you will be hungry, only I can eat, can I eat it? Qiaoqiao is still pregnant."

"Oh, look at my memory." Sun slapped his forehead regretfully and hurriedly said to Qiaoqiao, "Daughter-in-law, it's a bad mother, I just care about this kid. Hurry up and find a place to eat and don't starve my grandson."

"Mom, I'm not hungry"

"If you are not hungry, you have to eat on time. If you are hungry, you will lose your body. My eldest grandson should not be strong."

Qiaoqiao had no choice but to say nothing and obey Sun's arrangements. Li Zhien listened from the side, pouting his mouth high. When Li Mu saw it, he patted her arm, just to take it as comfort.

After eating my love wontons and chatting for a while, Li Mu walked into the tribute school again to take the Jinshi exam.

The Jinshi exam is the top priority of the imperial examination. It mainly tests a specific question, and then creates poems and fu based on this question, which is somewhat similar to the question-setting essays in Li Mu's previous Chinese exam.

Among them, poetry can test the students' level of concise language and reflect literary talent. As the mainstream style of literature and literature that has been since the Han Dynasty to the present, Fu is the best reflecting a humanistic literacy. It not only needs to be clear about the meaning, but also needs to be gorgeous. Those who are not talented cannot be used as Fu. This is recognized common sense.

Of course, this refers to the Jinshi class in the Tang Dynasty. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Jinshi class changed its flavor. From expressing one's own ideas, it became a sage of words in a generation of sages, and it emphasized the format, forming a deformed structure of the eight-legged essay. This change stabilized the rule, but also imprisoned people's thinking and lost its original intention.

This year's Jinshi exam is different from the last imperial examination. In order to prevent Li Shimin from revealing the questions to Li Mu, officials of the Ministry of Rites adopted the method of drawing questions, that is, before the exam, they first formulate dozens of questions, and then draw one question after the exam. In this way, even if Li Shimin reveals the questions to Li Mu, Li Mu will not be able to prepare dozens of poems and essays with dozens of questions in a short time, which greatly reduces the possibility of cheating.

When the gong sounded and the exam began, the examiner took out two questions about poetry and essays, requiring him to write poems based on the lack of talent and the replacement of rise and fall.

These two questions are difficult, but not difficult. Anyone who has studied books thinks that they are not satisfied with their talents. And the rise and fall is not difficult. The Sui Dynasty has been destroyed less than twenty years ago. It can be said that most of the people who participated in this imperial examination have experienced the rise and fall, and they empathized with it.

But the questions are not easy to answer, because the scope is too wide, so it is difficult to excel. If you cannot excel, even if you answer it, it will be a waste of answers. This is just like math in the college entrance examination. If the last two major questions are extremely difficult, it is easy to widen the score difference, but if it is not difficult, it is difficult to widen the score difference. If it is not difficult, it will be even more difficult. This is also the strategy of the questioner. They know that Li Mu is good at writing and deliberately makes him unable to widen the gap.

However, for Li Mu, it doesn’t matter at all. Anyway, he is just copying words when examing poetry and essays, and the only difference lies in whom he copied.
